Distance casting line from Fishing Essentials

There is nothing better than to head down to the beach on a fresh sunny winters day and try your luck with a bit of surfcasting. It's cheap, easy and at this time of year you don't need to worry about the masses of sunbathers and swimmers.

So get your gear out and give it a shot - but before to venture out you might want to consider a specialist surfcasting line from Ultima called 'Distance'. It can help you cast up to 15% longer (this is very beneficial when surrounded by other surfcasters trying their luck). Ultima designed the line to achieve maximum range when casting and increase your fishing options.

It’s a super soft, super smooth line which is equally effective and user-friendly when used on a multiplier or fixed spool reel. It's intended primarily for sandy beaches because the line is ultra soft, giving up to 15% more distance in field testing than conventional lines.

The line also has the added benefits of high visibility and 100% knot strength (depending on the knot and how it's tied & one of the most difficult things to achieve in fishing line manufacture). Plus you don't need to limit using Distance to just surfcasting. Distance is used throughout Europe for all kinds of casting and spinning for predatory and game fishing in both salt and freshwater.

If you want to purchase Distance, ask for it at your local sports retailer or go to www.fishingessentials.co.nz.
